Welcome / welcome back
Thanks for being a part of Moon Shots. Whether you are a new member, current, active, occasional or lurking, you contribute to the value of this space.
A special thanks to Jon Ingham, who cared for this space over the past year or so, and continues to contribute energy through linking his Social Advantage blog providing perspective from the edge of HR, and to Jack Martin Leith before him.
Of course, we are grateful to Gary Hamel for his inspiration and for continuing to grace this space with his Management 2.0 Blog and MLAB (Management Laboratory) activities.
My goal for this Moon Shots is to pursue the rediscovery of fire. There have been a number of attempts to spark some form of real-world activity, and I suppose that some members of Moon Shots have indeed been inspired to do something with the ideas that get launched in this space. (Indeed, I’ve started a project to demonstrate a new approach to trade development I’ve dubbed “Managed Value Trade,” that has as its goal a self-organizing, sustainable approach to trade that depends on strengthening the ability of each party to progress to its “next” level of social and economic benefit.)
In this space, I hope participants will feel encouraged to think aloud –to say things that will inspire others to comment and contribute their own insights in ways that can be acted on individually or collaboratively. We need management renegades.
In particular, think about using the “Group” feature to start your own projects, or actions. See what happens. It’s worth a shot (Moon Shots, that is.) If you live in, work in, or visit New York join New York Shots. Maybe we can add a meet-up dimension to Moon Shots.
